Take Control Over Your Life. Your Emotions Don't Define You
Passionate about Empowering Change through Therapy
I am Betsy Giduz, a licensed clinical social worker with over 35 years of experience supporting individuals and families in the Triangle area. I founded my private practice with the heartfelt mission of empowering clients to navigate life challenges, improve mental well-being, and achieve their full potential.
My Approach to Therapy
I employ evidence-based, solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to address a wide range of issues. My approach combines traditional therapeutic methods with play therapy, sensory activities, and mindfulness practices to create a holistic and individualized therapeutic experience.
Areas of Expertise
My expertise encompasses:
- Anxiety and Depression: Assisting individuals to manage worry, fear, and low mood.
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD): Providing specialized support for children and adults with ADHD, including evidence-based interventions and parenting guidance.
- Parenting Issues: Offering guidance and strategies to promote positive parent-child relationships and address behavioral concerns.
- Life Transitions: Helping individuals navigate through major life changes such as grief, divorce, or job changes.
Creating a Comfortable and Welcoming Environment
I understand that seeking therapy can be daunting. To create a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, I have curated a welcoming home office adorned with warm decor, comfortable furniture, and calming sensory elements. You'll be greeted by my two gentle and affectionate dogs, Bentley and Theo, who can provide a comforting presence during sessions if desired.
Experience and Qualifications
My extensive experience includes working in diverse settings such as hospitals, clinics, and educational institutions. I hold multiple degrees, including a Master's degree in Social Work, a Master's degree in Recreational Therapy, and various certifications.

On the other hand, another reviewer had a negative experience with Mrs. Betsy, feeling that she didn't listen or remember important details from one session to another. This reviewer was also upset that they were sold therapeutic toys, only to be offered the same toys for sale the following session, and felt that Mrs. Betsy didn't actually "treat" the child, nor did she follow up on her suggestions. This reviewer also questioned Mrs. Betsy's marketing strategy, suggesting that she uses her comfortable suburban home to project an image of tranquility.
